Possible Causes?

Hello All,

Haven't been here in a while but I'm experiencing a problem that hopefully some suggestions will help me with.

I recently installed AVG 9.0 Free. Ever since I have been experiencing intermittent system freezes. The computer is still running and the desktop is there but nothing works. It's like everything is frozen. I used to have a screen saver on by default and when I would get home from work I would jiggle my mouse only to find the taskbar corrupted and the system frozen. I disabled the screen saver and this morning it was still locked up. The only way out is to do a hard reboot. It could also be completely unrelated to AVG.

Anybody got any ideas as to what might be causing this? Is a system or hardware failure lurking?
